Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A buyer is responsible for selecting merchandise and managing the department's promotion and personnel. Purchasing agents focus more on negotiating contracts and obtaining goods from suppliers, while a retail broker acts as an intermediary between retailers and suppliers. A merchandiser may be responsible for visual merchandising and display, but not necessarily for personnel and promotion. A franchisee is a person who owns and operates a franchise business, which is a different role altogether.
